Knowing and respecting people.

Knowing and respecting people.

1.Before I make a judgment about a person I should:

get to know them find out more before you make a mental picture of them.

2.It is unwise to stereotype people because:

they might be a really good person that could be a really good friend.

3.we can make people in our school and community who we think are different feel welcome by:

Introduce yourself show them round and be there friend.

4.In future when I meet new people I will:

be a kind person and get to know them before you judge them.

The lost thing

Before:

Evil scientist Stuart testing hair products on crab smells disgusting.He hears a gloppy nose and turns round the Crab is mutating it sees Stuart and tries to kill him

During :

They evil scientists Stuart is trying to get the crab no to eat him so he can can perform tests to find out why the crab got so big and why it mutated

After:Stuart finds out how the crab got so big he learns to talk to the crab and the crab becomes Stuart's scientist apprentice

Once upon a time there was a very evil but kind scientist called Stuart.Stuart was a lonely old man that tested hair products on very random animals or sea life to see what effect it had on them.One day Stuart was in his lab(an abandoned

warehouse)experimenting on a very small crab spraying all kinds of smelly spray.He sprayed a mixture of all the sprays at once and then went to get something to eat when he got back he could hear a gloppy nose he walked into the room and the crab was standing there 50 times its original size.The crab saw Stuart and took what looked like its first steps.

Stuart was amazed but terrified as the crab stepped towards him and then suddenly two little slimy eyes popped out.Looking at the crab up close Stuart could see that the crab had no muscle movement so it couldn't hurt him.Stuart laid the giant creature down on the ground got a knife and took a little bit of the crabs skin for testing he took the piece of skin and put it under a microscope it turned out the crab had some genes that allowed him to mutate Stuart thought it was amazing now he new that he could make more mutant creatures.

Stuart bangs on the ground with happiness and for some reason the crab responds with its own round of banging Stuart does it again the crab follows Stuart has a think and he realizes that is the crabs language he starts a little notebook and penciled in loud bang happy silent bang sad that's all he could figure out about the crab and that's how he communicated with him for years even when the crab became Stuart’s apprentice he wasn't very good he couldn't do anything Stuart just wanted to give the crab a name.

Looks like paradise with the heated white sand,and the sun glistening off the shimmery water.I hear the waves breaking and crashing into the sand.Gulls sound their horns while they scavenge on the beach through the drift wood.The heat of the sun scorches my back.

Its a slice of heaven!!!

My inquiry net description.

Hi I’m rowan and I’m going to be talking to you about our net. At the front there are some metal towing eyes that are cast into the the plastic frame of the net.The plastic frame is flexible so if it hits anything too big it won't break Further down the net there are carbon fiber flaps that can be adjusted to the size fish you want to catch. There is also a fine plastic mesh at the end of the net
to stop fish getting out now do you have any questions thank you for looking at our net prototype bout not included.

Inquiry fish for the future

Today I made an explain everything that explains the new fishing net that my group came up with.

Reading questions

In our reading groups we have bean reading different books my book is called the sea reach stranger after each chapter we get an assignments our assignment for chapter 12 was to create an open and closed question my questions were.

Why do you think that Colm was at merians house?

do you think that Colm is a very nice person?

For maths today we made our oun drink with our oun recipes my on was.

100ml of cola
50ml of lemon ad
50ml of raspberry
50ml of orange fizzy

Then we were asked to make our recipe in to a liter and the way I worked it out was I times ed everything by 4 and that = i liter

Reading groups.

In our reading groups we have been reading books my book is called the sea reach stranger after each chapter we get as-ined a task at they end of chapter 12 my task was to create two questions on open and one closed these are my questions.

Why do you think that Colm was at merians house?

do you think that Colm is a very nice person?

Carving.

For the last couple of weeks we have been doing wood carving I found it really easy because i had don it before it was fun and i really enjoyed it. 

inquiry reflection

I choose to work on my computer  because it is faster and it has spell check and that is good for me because I am not good at spelling.

When working with the group I choose to help other people and do different things I helped with making they order forms for the milk shake sales.

The way my group worked together was very good we had people working on everything and people cooperated really well.

Next time that I am in a group I will need to get more involved in everything that is happening and help more.

I predict that our group will be successful in everything that we are trying to do.

I feel very proud  of our groups effort because we have done so much that I didn't think we would be able to do.

Social dancing.

We have been learning social dancing.

I think we do Social Dancing because it is a good way to interact with the opposite gender.

Before we started Social Dancing, I felt ok with the single dances but I was a bit edgy about the partner dancing.

I already had experience with no dancing at all.

When I am doing dancing, I feel happy because i like it.

I feel like this because I am learning stuff that I don't know and you get to move around.

Social Dancing would be better if there were more modern day dances.

My thoughts about the dance are they are fun but a little bit old.

Zoos

The reason we have Zoos is so that people can see different animals all in the same place from all around the world and people also come from different country to see different animals that they can't see from there country.

The problem with keeping animals in a cage with painted surrounding is that it is the same thing every day is that they get stressed and when they're stressed their lifespan is shortened this is called zoochosis. Zoochosis, apparently derived from psychosis, is mental illness in caged animals.

If you put yourself in the animals point of view you don't want to be forced into a cage.You would have to see lots and lots of children and parents all day long it would be exhausting. In the wild there would be none of that.

Some think that if we take away zoos there will be no prophet but I think that it is worth the money to tack away zoos and to stop animal cruelty and put them back into the wild.

In conclusion I think that we should take away zoos and stop animal cruelty.

Commonwealth Games

Commonwealth Games

I think that the reason that we should keep the Commonwealth Games is so that the smaller countries can have a chance to win things because in the Olympics all the smaller countries get pushed to the side.In they Olympics all the big countries win everything.The Commonwealth Games give the smaller countries a chance.If you take away the games there will be noting left.We have to keep the Commonwealth Games.

When the little children are watching t.v. after a long day at school it inspires them to go out and set goals.After that they can strive for those goals and then may be in the same place as the people on the t.v. when he was younger.If there were no games that little boy/girls dreams would be crushed. Do you really want that to happen?

Some people think that we should stop they Commonwealth Games because it costs to much for they gear and they athletes to go everywhere and get new gear.If They have sponsors they could donate gear and pay for their trips and all that kind of thing.Some think that we should stop the games because we already have the Olympics but in the olympic all the big countries win so the Commonwealth Games are just practice for went the olympics come.

In conclusion I think that we should keep the commonwealth games because it is practical and a lot of fun.

`Dear Miss Garland

Ask yourself, is this classroom happy? You’re probably gonna say “Yeah we’re pretty happy”, but ask yourself this; could this classroom be MORE happy?

The classroom is getting a bit lonely and we thought that we need something like a class pet to entertain us.We were thinking along the lines of a guinea pig. We chose this because guinea pigs are small and they are portable. Wouldn’t it be funny when it is on a spinning wheel, ohhh so cute! Another good reason we should have one is that they are not that expensive at ALL! They cost about $15 dollars.

And don’t you worry about the problems with a guinea pig, like: what if it poops on the floor? Well guinea pigs are small so we can keep them in a cage and put some newspapers or a tray in it for it’s droppings (free fertilizer!). What if it get’s lost you say? Well we can always put a bell on it if it hides somewhere in the class, so that’s those problem’s solved.

On the weekends, kid’s can have turns taking care of him/her. Think about the joy kid’s will have with a little tiny friend over the weekend. You could probably take it home on the holidays-wait, what about the guinea pig food? Well you’ll get your money’s worth when we’re selling those cute little furry guinea baby’s.

All you have to do is to buy him and we will take care of the rest… Classroom's are a lot happier with a pet, in fact, we will be so much happier that our learning will improve. Caring for a pet brings a sense of responsibility, kindness, and laughter. So Miss Garland, this is what the class is now. Can you look at that Guinea pig face and say no!

Cue the sad music.

Children go home sobbing in their bedrooms after school because we don't have a pet. The class is black and white but if you put a pet in the classroom it will become colourful.Miss garland, will you look into your big kind heart and get us a guinea pig. YOU MUST GET A GUINEA PIG YOU MUST GET A GUINEA PIG! *Cries in tears*

Oh and I won’t breathe until you get the class one do you want to kill one of your own students try sleeping at night knowing the fact that you didn’t buy a guinea pig. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA! *ghasp*

you must get us a class pet-please, I’m still not breathing! We know you're not a killer so go in and get a guinea pig for the class. *talks through mouth* By the way still not breathing....

Piece of advice, don’t buy a cat with it…

Cross courty exspectations.

For the cross county the thing that I am looking forward to is running or walking round outside I think that I am going to do OK I'm definitely not going to win because I am very unfit.
 The thing that I am dreading is how many people are going to be racing because I don't want to have to be the last person to go over the finish line because that would be embarrassing I think the run is 2.5km at my old school it was similar an I did OK.
 I enjoyed doing it at my old school because I new where I was going this time I am not so sure because I don't know my way around Havelock north it is unknonw to me but I think I will be OK.

circulatory system

Why is there two different kinds of blood:

When you breath in your lungs are filled with air and your blood gets pumped through your lungs and it gets oxygenated and then it is revived and goes bright red. Then it is pumped through the veins in your body when that happens the blood lets go of its oxygen and picks up co2 then it circulates back to your heart and back into the lungs and lets go of the co2 and then you breathe it out this is a picture of the whole system.

This picture shows that the blood with co2 on it is blue and the blood with oxygen on it is red.The blue goes into the lungs to be oxygen

anted and then turns red.  It goes back to your heart and is given a push. It is pumped around your body drops it oxygen and then picks up co2.  Then it  starts again.

Your heart:

Did you know that your heart pumps 5 quarts of blood every minute and 100,000 beats per day? That means that it beats 35 million beats in one year. There are 4 parts of the heart there is the left ventricle and the right ventricle they contract and push blood into your lungs. It is called systole then your ventricles relax and blood from the upper chambers is flowing into them.The upper chambers are called the left and right atrium. There are also 4 valves in each piece of the heart that keep it in time. They are called the pulmonary valve,the tricuspid valve,the aortic valve and the mitral valve . These valve are what separate oxygen rich blood from the oxygen poor blood.

How your blood system works:

Blood is actually made up of lots of different blood cells .These are what carry nutrients to different parts of your body and they take oxygen and pick up co2 that is why your veins are blue and red. blue blood isn't actually blue it is dark red and red veins Cary bright red blood.every time the blood goes round your body it is like a race track when it is at the end it is tired so then it goes through the lungs again and is oxygenated and then it can start again.

conclusion:

If you didn't have a heart you're couldn't pump blood so there

would not be any blood so you would die !!! dun dun daaaaaaa.

     The End!!!

Maths measurment

Today for measuring in maths we had a mini Olympics we had some little made up Olympic sports like javelin we did with a straw and then we did shot put with the balloon trying to throw it as far as positional then there was archery we held a balloon in our fingers and pulled it back and then let it go and the person that got it the farthest won and I got it 2.93cm then long jump but it was actuarial just tidily winkles and then there was flight and there was when we had to make a paper plane and threw it as far as possible.

To cut or not cut.

I think that Lucan should cut his hair because he can grow it again.Lucan is a year 12 at st john college . the school has taken him to court because his hair is too long I don't think that they should have taken him to court but I still think he needs to cut hair.the reason the school has these rules is to keep the school tidy and to keep its image good.

Another reason I think he should cut his hair is because if he leaves it to long it will feel really bad.

my take on the digestive systum

Eating

the first process when you start eating doesn't happen in your mouth it happens by sense of smell when you smell something you like your mouth produces saliva then you put the food in your mouth and your teeth start to grind together to make your food wet and soft so that when you swallow it it doesn't get stuck in your throat another word for throat is your esophagus.

Swallowing

When you swallow your food gravity doesn't do all the work.when you swallow the muscles in your esophagus contract like a wave behind your food that pushes it into your stomach.

stomach

when your food gets to your stomach your stomach starts to churn and mix your food with your stomach acid and then your food breaks up and starts to go into your small intestine.

Intestines

after your food has been melted down in your stomach it starts to pass through your small intestine in the small intestine there are microscopic little thing called villi that absorb all the good food that pass through and takes them to the bloodstream that gets pumped all around your body to make you strong then it passes through the big intestine and all the remaining moisture gets sucked out of the wast and is called pee. then your food goes to the final stage that I will call they exit.

Rippa rugby

For P.E. this week we have been learning how to play ripper rugby for lunchtime sport. The first session we learnt how to rules worked and split into to two groups then we did some passing. We played a game of rugby it was very short then there was lunch time sport and we won the first game 11,3 so we went into the semifinal.Next day we had P.E. again and we started of with a game of never ending tag it was really fun after that we went to the field and split again put the red and blue rip belts on this game we were allowed to kick the ball on the sixth rip. Then yesterday we had a two period P.E. session for 45 minutes we split into two teams and then split again and played a mini game of touch. It is the same as riper but you touch instead of rip. Then room 15 came out and we played a game I think that we won Jack,Inderpreet and I were being commentators and I even got to be the referee for 2 minutes. Over all I would rate myself a 7 out of 10 we did this skill for to weeks and I really liked it I would like to do it again.
